Grew on Me

Seems like yesterday
On the playground
In the games
Of our youth
On her five stones
I clattered them all
Chasing dreams of police and thief
It was the cutest pout
In her angry bout
That turned to a dimpled smile
Thank God for rabbit sweets
That I use to appease
At the moment she grew on me
Oh Wah Peh Ya Sum
It was the game all this years
That made her my dear
From the heat of the summer
To the winter cold
She outshines the sun
She basks in the glow
Jelly jelly long chiam pass
Irreplaceable part
Lovely Xiao Ding Dang
She makes the harshes of wind
Seems like specks of dust
Oh dear me you
You grew on me
Bell ring after school
Running feet to her
To catch our favourite cartoons
Over root beer floats and little jokes
Yaohan dates in eighty-two
Remember xinyao tapes
On the monorail
Quick as time so we grew
From daily school to soldier rule
Every thought i spent it missing you
Oh Wah Peh Ya Sum
It was the game all this years
That made her my dear
From the heat of the summer
To the winter cold
She outshines the sun
She basks in the glow
Jelly jelly long chiam pass
Irreplaceable part
Lovely Xiao Ding Dang
She makes the harshes of wind
Seems like specks of dust
Oh dear me you
You grew on me
In my times of doubt I felt the thoughts collide
I wondered if she could understand
But in weakness she was always there
A balm in the depths of gloom
Oh Wah Peh Ya Sum
It was the game all this years
That made her my dear
From the heat of the summer
To the winter cold
She outshines the sun
She basks in the glow
Jelly jelly long chiam pass
Irreplaceable part
Lovely Xiao Ding Dang
She makes the harshes of wind
Seems like specks of dust
Oh dear me you
You grew on me
